Donald Trump has found himself facing harsh criticism after a recent interview showed his very different responses to political violence. When a reporter asked about lowering flags for Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was killed in June 2025, Trump said he was “not familiar” with her case. The moment has made many people angry about what they see as unfair treatment based on politics.
Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?
